- About a Park
Situated on Wolf Creek, it’s hard to believe this scenic, natural area is located
within Dayton city limits. Beautiful woodlands, the river and wildlife bring urban
residents close to nature. In addition, Wesleyan is the site of Adventure Central,
an innovative partnership between MetroParks and Ohio State University Extension,
4-H Youth Development. Here urban youth learn more about the environment and themselves
through after-school programs, clubs and camps.
